Environmentalism: Why has green gone out of fashion
Submitted on 4.29.2005

For 35 years now, environmentalists have specialized in “Chicken Little scare tactics and doomsday prophesying,” said Chip Giller in The Boston Globe. But the movement reached new “depths of gloominess” when it recently announced “the death of itself.”

Ozone rules would be toughest in the nation
Submitted by Mike Lee on 4.28.2005

California regulators are expected to adopt the nation's toughest ozone pollution standard today on the heels of a new study that reports nine out of 10 state residents are threatened by unhealthy air despite big improvements during the last decade.

Fighting Environmental Illiteracy
Submitted by Jim Motavalli on 4.25.2005

You’d need environmental blinders to believe the horsefeathers retailed in the “Index of Leading Environmental Indicators.”

Every day is Earth Day
Submitted by H. Sterling Burnett on 4.24.2005

Environmentalists are quick to admonish, “Every Day is Earth Day”- a mild reproach that everyone should daily consider how their actions affect the planet. In fairness, in the United States at least, the evidence suggests that every day is earth day, so environmentalists’ sniping is unwarranted.

Acting Globally: An Affordable Hobby
Submitted on 4.22.2005

Earth Day 2005: On this, the 35th anniversary of a day set aside to promote environmental awareness, our nation continues to enjoy improved ecological health. Who's responsible for this progress?

Capitalism Cleans Up the Earth Day
Submitted by Rush Limbaugh on 4.22.2005

RUSH: Is this the day? Yeah. April 22nd is Earth Day. That's exactly what I was thinking. April 22nd is Earth Day. All right, so that's why everybody has been going nuts. I forgot. I confuse Earth Day and May Day because May Day is where the communists celebrate.

Earthly Illuminations
Submitted by Steven F. Hayward, Ph.D on 4.22.2005

For ten years now, Steven Hayward, a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and the Pacific Research Center, has been the principal author of the Index of Leading Environmental Indicators.

In the latest edition, Hayward & co. spot "a turning point." According to the Index, "It appears that public regard for environmental doomsaying is declining."



Happy 35th Earth Day
Submitted by Ronald Bailey on 4.22.2005

Born 35 years ago in a fever of political activism, Earth Day is now a Hallmark Holiday. Earth Day and its traditional pieties about recycling and conservation now engender all of the public passion of Arbor Day.

Hot-Air Day
Submitted by Sally C. Pipes on 4.22.2005

While ozone air pollution has fallen to its lowest level in U.S. history, hot air on the subject still hovers over us like a suffocating smog. This weekend — like every other Earth Day — environmentalists will saturate the country’s airwaves and newspapers with doomsday warnings about global warming and species extinction.

People, Progress, and the Planet -- Earth Day 2005
Submitted by Paul Driessen on 4.22.2005

Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore says the environmental movement “has lost its objectivity, morality and humanity.” This Earth Day, let us dedicate ourselves to restoring those essential virtues.
